At the link above is found a rather amazing statement.

According to Charles Ryrie, author of Ryrie Study Bible,
Yahweh’s Name appears in Hebrew manuscripts of the Old Testament exactly
6,823 times.

Does any member of b-Hebrew know in what Hebrew manuscripts of the Old
Testament that:
Yahweh’s Name appears exactly 6.823 times?

In the Westminster Leningrad Codex, YHWH appears exactly 6,828 or five
times more than your source.

But...of what use is this fact?
